[BioPython] Automated ligand extraction from PDB

[Tomek Jarzynka]

Hi,

I would like to create a script that would take a PDB file as input,
try and identify the ligand structures and delete them from the PDB
file. I figured this would be possible with Biopython by looking at
the atom id (whether it contains 'H_') and subclassing Select to
not allow those items to be written to a file.
Is there any more elegant way of doing this, perhaps another PDB parser
framework, or maybe someone has already done similar work?

Thanks in advance,
